PANIC AND SAWAAL | A Short Film by Apratim

--- PANIC AND SAWAAL | A Teachers' Day Short Film (A Short Film by Apratim) It starts with pure panic. a last-minute scramble to figure out what on earth to do for Teachers' Day, chaos, deadlines, and complete craziness of preparation. Then it shifts gears entirely into SAWAAL (सवाल) — The Question, an original play born from that chaos, inspired by the themes of Swadesh Deepak's Court Martial and Bhisham Sahni's Kabira Khada Bazaar Mein. One ordinary classroom lesson turns into a conversation about authority, blame, conformity, and the courage it takes to question the crowd, following a teacher and four students as they wrestle with a single deceptively simple question: is the crowd right just because it's the crowd? ⏱️ Scripted, shot, and edited entirely from scratch — all within 24 hours of notice. 📌 Credits Written by: Yatharth Sharma, Deeva Gangola Directed by: Yatharth Sharma Filmed by: Yatharth Sharma, Shameer Ahmad, Sanika Kamboj Edited by: Yatharth Sharma 🎭 Cast Sanika as the Teacher Shreyanshu as Yash Deeva as Anjali Priyal as Riya Yatharth as Karan 🎵 Music "Jhini Jhini" — Indian Ocean "Arigato" #PanicAndSawaal #TeachersDay #ShortFilm #HindiTheatre #StudentFilm #24HourFilm #CourtMartial #KabiraKhadaBazaarMein
